The Bargeman's Rest

My husband and I have always loved visiting the Bargeman’s so we were excited to spend our special day here. However, it turned out to be quite an awful experience. When we arrived the room was freezing cold, and all the radiators were off- it was -4 outside. All our guests had to keep their coats on. Secondly, the staff were really rude and unwelcoming. We had family and friends present who had travelled down especially for the day, and they could not believe how frosty the atmosphere was. It was very clear they did not want to be there. Not only this, but they were dragging my husband out the room constantly to moan about anything and everything. They were unhappy that some of our guests were drunk- I’m not sure what they expected to happen at a wedding? There were no fights, no rowdiness, and nothing to warrant the staffs behaviour. This eventually lead them to closing the bar early and we were forced to leave early after paying until 11pm. This meant the DJ we hired also had to leave early. It was obvious that they all just wanted to get home so we’re looking for any excuse possible to get rid of us. They couldn’t get in there quick enough at the end to pack up. I spent the last hour or so sat in the balcony outside in the cold because I felt so uncomfortable. It’s safe to say we won’t be going there again, very upset that this will forever tarnish the memories of our special day.
